The problem

Your supplier says it's compliant.
EU Customs disagrees.

EU Battery Regulation 2023/1542 introduced new labelling and documentation requirements. Most manufacturers in Asia are not up to date. You carry the risk.

1

Your shipment gets held at customs

A single gap — wrong legal article reference, a missing QR code reference — can get your container rejected or seized at the EU border.

€20–100k

Warehouse and demurrage costs

Every day your goods sit in customs storage costs money. Correcting documentation after goods are in transit is expensive, slow, and often impossible.

Weeks

Compliance consultants are too slow and expensive

A compliance advisor charges thousands per review and takes weeks to respond. You need the answer before you confirm the order — not after the container is loaded.

Why BatteryComply

Built for importers,
not lawyers.

Checks the actual regulatory text

Our system is built to only cite what is actually in your document — against Articles 13, 38 and Annexes VI and XIII of EU 2023/1542. It never guesses.

Your documents stay private

Uploaded files are stored securely and linked only to your account. We process a minimum of data. Documents are never shared or indexed.

Regulation version always tracked

Every report states which version of the regulation was used. When EU legislation is updated, we update the criteria and version the change.

14-day satisfaction guarantee

If a report is unclear or does not deliver value, we refund in full. No questions asked.

Important — please read

BatteryComply provides automated risk assessments of technical documentation. Reports identify potential documentation gaps against EU Regulation 2023/1542.

Reports do not constitute legal advice, do not guarantee customs clearance, and do not replace advice from a qualified legal or customs professional.

Regulation updates are made manually and versioned. Always verify that the regulation version is current at the time of import.
